When 50g sugar is dissloved in 100ml of water there is no increase in volume . what characteristice of matter is isllustrated by this observation?

The observation that dissolving 50g of sugar in 100ml of water does not increase the volume illustrates the characteristic of matter known as the ability to occupy space. This demonstrates that when a solute (sugar) dissolves in a solvent (water), the particles of the solute fit into the spaces between the particles of the solvent, leading to no measurable increase in volume. This behavior highlights the concept of solubility and the interactions between different states of matter.
